OMG YAY!!!!!!!!!!! A new CC story!!!!!
“Now this is the part I really get tired of. The introductions. We need a code word, don’t we? A secret handshake? Something. So we don’t have to go through this each and every time.”
Okay, I'm *so* worried about what's in store... but LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“You see how he does that?” remarked a hushed voice. “It’s already second nature. The protective gesture.”
AWWWW!!!!!!!! And... *snigger* Sounds like a bunch of folcs analyzing.
“Superman?” Lois and Clark repeated in unison.
“Whoopsies,” said the woman a tad tremulously.
“Lois would have thought of it in a few hours anyway,” called an encouraging voice from the crowd.
ROTFL!!!!
“This morning when I woke up,” Lois said over his left shoulder. “I was in a hurry to break-in here. And then I found a bomb. Met a man who can lift space ships but is shy about it. I was up to speed on all of that... until now.”
“Trust me, Lois, you have company in utter confusion,” Clark offered back.
Awwww *snicker*
“Haven’t you been paying attention? Interfering is what I do. It’s my life’s purpose. He flies around and saves the day. She is perpetually fooled by a pair of glasses...”
Clark gulped.
“What?” said Lois.
“Too soon, dear girl, cover your ears,” ordered the woman.
Oh crap!!
“You caught me fair and square, gang.” Tempus shrugged. “Though, God, that’s embarrassing considering your combined intellect. But still, it’s good that I was prepared.”

(So glad I saved my graemlins for the end!)
It wasn’t to stop her from charging, and it wasn’t exactly to protect her. But more to assure himself that she was with him. That he could feel her close.
That they wouldn’t be separated.
Awww!!! Gah! That hits me right *there*!
He was pointing his ring at them- what looked to be a reddish light was shooting from a gem stone unlike any he’d ever seen. Tempus was laughing. Long, loud delighted laughter, which followed them into the darkness.
Oh dear Lord, CC!!!! What have you gotten them into???
And... when do we get to find out? Huh? I hope it's soon. I really do.
Sara (who's going to scurry off and write more buffer before CC gets done with what she has... was it really a good idea to give her *everything*... )
